“…Section 1 contains an overview of the historical primacy (2001 to 2021) of U.S. policies to expanding access to oil and gas supplies. I have a soft spot in my heart for the author's coverage of this sector as it updates one of my favorite books of all time, The Prize: The Epic Quest for Oil, Money, and Power by Daniel Yergin (1991). Yergin's Pulitzer Prize–winning book is the more seductive, as it covers topics like global imperialism and the role of oil in world wars.…”

“…Another contribution that cannot be overlooked came from Daniel Yergin, who is widely regarded as one of the world's top energy experts. best known for his Pulitzer Prize-winning book, which decodes the history of the oil industry, traversing in an engaging narrative style its most important historical phases, and the people who made them (Yergin, 1991). The Prize book conclusively shows that securing and gaining access to oil supplies was a precondition for great powers, but "The New Map" aims to uncover the new world, the world in which the post-Cold War international system is transforming into a future multipolar system with unprecedented configurations.…”

“…Vale la pena recordar que el estadounidense John Fitch en 1787 construye el primer barco de vapor y Robert Fulton, lo populariza en 1807 con el vapor Clermont para la navegación fluvial, como en el río Mississippi, como lo referencia, Reyes (2019). Por otra parte, la incorporación del vapor a los buques de guerra coincide con el nacimiento de la industria petrolera en 1859 en Titusville (Pensilvania), a partir de dos avances tecnológicos: la perforación de pozos utilizando el sistema de percusión, y la refinación del crudo por destilación para la obtención de keroseno, lubricantes y parafina, y años después de nafta, vaselina, gasolina, diésel y fuel oil, según Yergin (1990).…”

“…La proliferación de pozos, refinerías y sistemas de transporte en la región petrolera de Pensilvania, convirtió al naciente mercado petrolero en dinámico y especulativo, como lo relata Yergin (1990), alcanzando el precio del barril unos máximos de diez dólares y unos mínimos de diez centavos de dólar en sus inicios; en este sentido, la disponibilidad creciente y el contenido energético de este producto, desplazó el carbón y el aceite de ballena como combustibles, al igual que promovió nuevos usos. Dentro de este contexto, se motivan los primeros análisis para reemplazar el uso del carbón por petróleo en las calderas de los buques de guerra estadounidenses, mediante la asignación de $5.000 dólares en 1866 por parte del Congreso para este propósito.…”
